For over five years, the Ink Well writers group has assisted amateur and professional writers in South Florida. We focus on critique circles, but also have a variety of activities ranging from creative writing exercises, writing workshops, and publishing seminars.  Although we have historically focused on the needs of fiction writers, our group is open to and supportive of all types of writing at all levels.  So if you are an excited beginner, a seasoned word weaver, or even if you have a string …

This is the place to go to meet writers interested in helping other writers. Members range from "I'm just taking myself somewhat seriously" to "I've published a bunch of books."

Some of our past programs have included poets, horror writer, a romance writer, a bookseller... we're willi …

This group should be writers of fiction, drama, and poetry.  Since most creative ideas for writers come from within us, we have found that regular writing of a diary, a journal, or of memoirs, is a vital part of creative writing. By writing memoirs, or keeping a journal/diary, we tap into the vast creative storehouse of our memory on a regular schedule.   We should meet weekly and each member should be prepared to read his or her week's memoir or journal, usually about 500 to 2,000 words. We wil …

Any of this sound familiar? "I want to write but can't find the time..I'll finish this novel someday...the laundry is more important than writing...coffee and strangers makes me write SO much better." Okay so maybe not that last one but wouldn't it be great if it were true? The concept for this meetup is simple: We set a time, we get together, and we write. We make a promise to ourselves to haul the literary rock up and over the hill, and then let the fellowship of writers set it to rolling. May …

I started this group in January 2011 because I was looking for ways to stay motivated with my writing projects despite a relatively time-consuming job. One thing that has been proven to help is to be a part of a regular writing group, as it helps motivate people (like me) who need structure and community to "check in" and stay connected to the writing process.  So I formed this low-pressure, weekly writing club that will help us all cope with everyday motivation, maintain a commitment to our pas …

We will meet weekly, do timed writes on a variety of topics, share what we have written with each other, smile, nod, laugh and maybe even cry a little. We will compliment the writer and what has been written (even if we think it is horrible). We may express interest in knowin …

The majority of the meetings will consist of writing sessions.  Group members will meetup a couple of twice a month to engage in a group writing session. I have done this thing sort of thing before during National Novel Writing Month and I find it a great way to motivate me to write.  Not only is it motivating but it is a great why to me …

I am thinking of starting a group to create just one story. This will either be a fantasy story, or a sci-fi story, but I am leaning towards a fantasy story to create and would like to start a group with the goal of creating just one story, so that being said this is not a typical writers group. The goal for this group is not writing in general, but when we meet we will all discuss and share ideas, brainstorm, etc etc for one story. The membership may be limited, and I prefer only serious and ac …
